Effective Way to Deal with Anger and Stress
Effective Way to Deal with Anger and Stress
Dealing with explosive emotions like anger and stress is easy to say than to do.
How can we deal with them easily yet effectively?
Simply tap yourself over and over again.
The Chinese believe that emotions and body are closely related.
The organs and energy meridians in the body have emotional elements and how you feel will affect the body, and vice versa.
Therefore it is quite effective to deal with the emotion-body energy system to eliminate anger and stress.
Previously I blogged about Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that effectively deals with emotions.
It has the function of triggering the emotion so that anger and stress can surface and manifest itself for us to eliminate, by tapping a few acupressure points that can get rid of them quickly and cleanly.
We can simplify the whole EFT thing to just tapping so that we can deal with our emotional problems directly.
The tapping itself is the main method to release emotional energy blockage and outburst, which is causing a lot of problems.
I shall outline some of the points to be tapped with your fingers (not nails) of both hands.
You simply need to tap each point rapidly for about 7 times.
- top of your head
- Beginning of the eyebrows
- Sides of the eyes
- Under the eyes
- Under the nose
- Chin
- Collarbone
- Under the arm
Here’s a video demo of the points to be tapped. (just skip the non tapping part)
Although it seems ridiculous to get rid of anger and stress by just tapping but from the experience of many people it works quite well. Tapping for one round alone (tapping through the points mentioned above once) can greatly reduce the level of negative emotions.
When you are really in bad mood from exam, work, annoyance or anything else,
quickly do the tapping again and again,
even though this might not seem to work at first but after many rounds (10, 20 or 30 rounds, which won’t last for more than 10 minutes)
You will notice that the outburst is reduced significantly and the feeling of inner bliss is felt.
Always choose to do tapping when you are angry or stressed.
It is much better than hurting yourself, your loved ones and your valuable things,
and it deals with the root of the problem directly.
Sometimes anger or stress can be subtle so it is a good idea to do the tapping a few short rounds even though you are not experiencing outburst. The problem is there, it is just that sometimes we are not aware of it. It can cause muscular tension or dull feeling. So when you are taking a walk, waiting at train station or not doing anything, go through the tapping gently.
You might even notice that you feel calmer and less tense after doing it as subtle stress is removed.
I hope this simple tapping exercise will help you greatly to deal with your problems in life.
Have fun and keep experimenting.


er… do we have to follow any particular order?
